Just seven days after Satoshi launched the Bitcoin network on January 3, 2009, Hal Finney, the first person to ever receive a bitcoin payment, announced to the world that he too had fired up a Bitcoin node. “Running bitcoin,” Finney tweeted on January 10, 2009, and those two words have become iconic in the Bitcoin community. Sixteen years later, his wife Fran honored her late husband with a fourth annual charity run to raise money and awareness for ALS, which Hal Finney suffered from and sadly succumbed to in 2014. “Today marks the start of the 4th Annual Running Bitcoin Challenge in Hal’s memory,” Fran Finney posted on X via Hal’s account. “Let’s run for Bitcoin, ALS research, and Hal’s incredible legacy.”
